ence committees were appointed, and the
upon any large expenditure, such as the
situation Of the country and the condition
of the treasury fully justified, so that these
bills ell failed. The large appropriation
made by the Senate at the previous session
Of Congress, and defeated by the House,
was also In conference committee, and this
also failed.
The Republican Senate was willing and
anxious to provide for the defense Of the
country, and Mr.. Reed, Of Maine, the Re-
publican leader in the House, when the sci, !
100000 bill came from the Senate, endeav-
ored to secure for II at least a favorable hear
ing. Mr.. Carlisle, the Democratic speaker,
would not permit II, but deliberately
strangled the bill by sending 1t to Mr. Ran
would be killed. These two distinguished
Democrats seemed TO be afraid to allow q
Democratic administration to handle the
money offered them by q Republican Senate.
Possibly each Of them desired to cripple a
rival for the Democratic nomination.
The Republican party is responsible for
the action Of the Senate and for the votes Of
the majority Of the party in the House, but
not for what individual members of that
body may say. Without examining the de-
bates in the House, we can simply say that
no Republican in that body parralleled any
such "sellsh and idiotc" language as that
quoted from the Advance, because the Repub'
lican party is not In the habit of sending any
Of lis fools to Congress- it generally leaves
them at home, where they become the best
evidence in favor Of the doctrine Of evolu.
tion by developing into Mugwumps.

eional brethren by asserting that he coul I
puild Roadway one hundred miles long
across che Isthmus Of Tehuantepec from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and transport
loaded ships Of large size from ocean to
ocean. And, though many engineers
doubted his ability to do so, the world was
inclined to believe that he could do 1t,
though it is doubtful II they will coneede
that any one else can. Had he lived to per-
form this work his fame would have equaled
that of De Lesseps when he Joined the
waters OF the Mediterranean with the Red
sea by the Suez canal.
The life Of man like Capt. Eads, Of
great professional skill, high purposes, and
indomitable energy, is Of value to the
world and his death q loss. This can be
said of but few men, and is his most fitting
epitauh.

James IL, Eads.

The telegraph tells of the death OF that
distinguished civil engineer, Capt. James
b. EGds, at Nassau, New Brunswick, which
city Capt. Eads visited in search Of health.
Few men have achieved higher reputa
tions in their chosen professions than did
Capt, Eads, who has left two monuments
of his engineering ability, the st. Louis
bridge AID the Mississippi river jetties,
either Of which works was sufficient to
place him in the front rank Of his profes-
sion.
AS an engineer Capt Eads possessed the
merit of boldness and originality. His pro-
posal to secure depth of thirty feet of
water at the passes of the Mississippi by
the use OF jetties was rldiculed by other en-
gineers, some Of them of high reputation,
hut Capt. Eads upheld his opinions by such
convincing logic that Congress accepted his
proposal, and the thirty-foot channel is a
fact.
Once more Capt. Eads startled his profess
